Sunday, April 13, 2025 I woke up in the night and stretched and stretched and was so very appreciative of having a bed instead of a coach seat. I was lying there, enjoying my bunk, enjoying my train, when the train stopped. When it started up again, it was so sudden I slid down the […]

Saturday, April 12, 2025 Everything we’d read or heard about an Amtrak roomette was that it is small. Our car’s steward, Cherie, looked our two backpacks doubtfully and said we could store them in the luggage area, if needed. We are finding it bigger than expected and a great way to travel. I slept up

Friday, April 11, 2025 Okay, I knew they were, but seeing a bunch of them filmed by the National Geographic people was really cool. We went to a concert/video show by NG a few years ago and it was spectacular. Music and video blew us away. When we saw this opportunity, we had to go.

Thursday, April 10, 2025 We went to see the Collide Theater Dance Company’s production called Broadway Dancin’ tonight. It wasn’t a story show; it was a dancing show, and it was AMAZING.

Wednesday, April 9, 2025 Carla saw a thing and signed us up to go to the million-crayon giveaway at the Crayola Experience at the Mall of America. We had (free) tickets for anytime today.

Monday, April 7, 2025 We’ve been wandering around the house thinking about packing and finding all sorts of interesting things. I found a tortilla soup mix in the pantry and decided to make it for supper. I added chopped turkey rather than ground turkey, and a can of diced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce –

Sunday, April 6, 2025 We went to see the one man show Under the Lintel at the Phipps Friday night. I had to divert the potd to Sophia and George, but I want to mention it now. The show was about a Dutch librarian whose library received an overdue book that had been checked out

Saturday, April 5, 2025 We went to the Sonnentag Center in Eau Claire to see Bob Dylan tonight. We found out the Erbert and Gerbert’s on Water Street is closed. It has been there a loooong time, so we were sad, but we were happy to find out there is another one up off Clairemont.

Friday, April 4, 2025 See that girl way on the right of that backstage door picture on Broadway? The one with the long, pretty curls? I know her dad!! He was a really good friend of mine in high school. He sent me a message that Sophia had booked an ensemble role in her first
